Perceived physical literacy instrument for adolescents: A further validation of PPLI.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of "Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument" (PPLI) questionnaire in adolescents.

Methods

Based on physical literacy literature, a 9-item instrument was developed for initial tests. The self-report measure was administered to 1945 adolescents in Hong Kong. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to examine a three-factor structure of physical literacy. A chi-square difference test analysed several competing models and compared the results between the proposed models (i.e., a three-factor solution) and other alternative models (i.e., a one-factor or two-factor solution). Furthermore, the measurement invariance across gender groups was examined by using multiple-group confirmatory fact
